The Gift That Keeps on Giving  Flexible Deferred Gift Annuity

Marijean Flom '50

It is more than 60 years since I graduated from Lawrence in 1950. The fact that we have formed a committee and are working on plans for our reunion attests to the fact the one of the greatest legacies of my years at Lawrence has been the friendships that I made during those four years. Many of my classmates continue to be close and treasured friends today.

I married into a long line of Lawrentians when I married Richard Flom '48. My in-laws, Lois and Russ Flom, were very active alumni and I feel that they were my inspiration. Both Dick and I served on the Alumni Board and helped to develop the Twin Cities Alumni Club. At present I am a class agent. Dick's three siblings were Lawrence graduates and married Lawrentians. It was almost a given that our two sons, Rick '75 and David '83 also graduated from Lawrence and married classmates. Our daughter, Barb, went to Ripon '77. However, her son Eric Bohling '12 is now a student at Lawrence. He is the twenty third family member to attend.

With this background it was inevitable that I would want to support my alma mater. Several years ago I established a flexible deferred charitable gift annuity which is consistent with my financial situation. This planned gift arrangement will allow me a guaranteed fixed stream of income for the rest of my life. The remaining dollars will go to the Lois and Russ Flom Scholarship Fund. Because of my strong belief in the value of a liberal arts education I am particularly interested in the scholarship program. I know that my small gift will help.

I encourage others to consider becoming a member of the Legacy Circle. There are many ways in which you can make this contribution.

Shelby Harder, 2018 Dr. Irving Auld and DorothyRoher Auld Scholarship

"Many students take for granted what a university has to offer. However, I am thankful every single day for the opportunity to attend this prestigious school. At Lawrence, you have the ability to engage in Socratic debates about the world we live in at dinner, play recreational or NCAA sports, and talk one on one with brilliant professors. At Lawrence, you don't just 'learn' a subject, you are immersed in it. You dive into the liberal arts and these professors show you the beauty in it all, and how everything is tied together. I am a Biochemistry major with a soft spot for rocket science, philosophy, and evolution. Lawrence is my dream school, and it would have never been possible without the Dr. Irving Auld and Dorothy Roher Auld Scholarship. I am forever grateful for their generosity."

Carroll Family Scholarship

"Lawrence University is a great place for students looking to embrace their multi-interested approach to learning. As a Geology major, I have spent many
long hours in laboratories. But, I have also had the opportunity to organize and lead students on outdoor backpacking trips, help build a stronger community
for International students, participate in dialogues on campus initiatives, attend dozens of musical events, and study abroad in a field-based geology
program, all while taking classes in a variety of academic spheres on campus. Lawrence, as an institution and student body, creates a collective of
learners, listeners, and leaders who are continuously evolving their understanding of the world around them. I am fortunate to have the support of the
Carroll Family Scholarship, so that I can say I am a part of this exceptional community too!"

Marian H. Cuff Endowed Scholarship

"Lawrence is a special institution with nice people around the campus. I better myself by trying out different things and using new ways to think
critically. Even though I am a Philosophy major, I have successfully taken classes in Anthropology, Biology, Economics, and Government. In addition, I still
find many great extracurricular opportunities to explore, such as singing with Viking Chorale, even though I am not a music major. While having the great
experience of volunteering at the elderly center last year, I became an elder advocacy coordinator at the Volunteer Community Service Center. At Lawrence,
I've learned to handle difficult academic problems while looking forward to exploring possible opportunities. I am very grateful to be awarded the Marian H.
Cuff Endowed Scholarship for every year I have been here, and appreciate that the scholarship has provided this wonderful Lawrence experience to me."

Anthony Cardella, 2018
Ansorge Family Scholarship

"I am so excited that I am able to attend Lawrence University. I know that I will make great progress studying piano with Dr. Michael Mizrahi. Since being
at Lawrence I've already made a lot of progress and I really love it here. I am so grateful for the Ansorge Family Scholarship that made it possible for me
to come to Lawrence because without it, I might not have been able to afford the cost of attending a school that is a great fit for me and a place where I
will learn so much and go so far."

Maurine Campbell Scholarship

"Thanks to the Maurine Campbell scholarship, I have been able to attend the amazing school that is Lawrence University. With the help from this scholarship,
I have been able to pursue my dream career in chemistry working with the outstanding and extremely helpful faculty here. Even outside of chemistry I take
the time for exploration into my interests and want to give back through my work as a resident life advisor, stock room assistant, and student supervisor at
Bon Appetit. Everything I have learned here, academically or not has forever molded the person I am today."
